The following command will make a patch between the staging area (in your computer), and the file you modified: git diff -p org-whatever.el If you already committed your changes to your index (staging area), then you should compare against a particular branch (in this example, origin/master): git diff -p origin/master org-whatever.el You email the output to this mailing list, adding [PATCH] to the subject, and description of what you fixed or changed. At least, this is how I do it. Regards, .j.
